Name: Big Bill Livonia Michigan (Zone 6a) If you need to relax, grow plants!!
I do not grow peppers but I grow tomato's, cherries and a large fruited variety. Zinnias and marigolds, daisies and basil underlights this past season.
I sowed on March 18, about 7-8 weeks before I can put them outside.
All were in 'seedling starting soil' and in 12" by 12" plastic flats.
Orchid lecturer, teacher and judge. Retired Wildlife Biologist. Supervisor of a nature preserve up until I retired.
